Social simulation offers the social sciences an experimental instrument that the real world cannot supply, and generative agents have transformed it by acting as silicon samples that unite agent-based...
arXiv:2604. 22748v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As AI systems move from generating text to accomplishing goals through sustained interaction, the ability to model environment dynamics becomes a central bottleneck.
arXiv:2507.19364v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into social simulation has generated considerable enthusiasm, but also raises substantial methodolo...
arXiv:2607. 26588v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid development of large language models (LLMs) has renewed interest in agent-based modeling (ABM).
arXiv:2606. 07462v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As foundation models advance and agent scaffolding becomes increasingly sophisticated, agents have demonstrated remarkable proficiency in complex, long-horizon coding tasks and even autonomous experiment execution.
arXiv:2602. 11354v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The literature has witnessed an emerging interest in AI agents for automated assessment of scientific papers.
arXiv:2609.16436v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Simulations based on large language models (LLMs) have proven to be powerful for understanding human behavior, making them valuable additions to the...
arXiv:2602. 10429v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AIvilization v0 is a publicly deployed large-scale artificial society that couples a resource-constrained sandbox with a unified LLM-agent architecture, aiming to sustain long-horizon autonomy while remaining executable under a rapidly changing environment.
arXiv:2606. 11217v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The proliferation of large language models (LLMs) and autonomous AI agents has given rise to a rapidly growing methodological paradigm: "in silico" behavioral experiments.
arXiv:2602.00685v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as simulated participants in social science experiments, but their behavior is often unstable an...
arXiv:2608. 06020v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Economic World Models (EWMs) are generative economic models that simulate how economies evolve from within by modeling heterogeneous agents, their beliefs and actions, and the market and institutional mechanisms through which their interactions produce aggregate outcomes.
Continually improving agents require dynamic interaction feedback beyond static supervision, yet direct real-environment interaction is costly, slow, unsafe, and hard to parallelize. World modeling offers a natural intermediate proxy that allows agents to query lower-cost, more controllable feedback before committing to real actions.
